Inverse Methods in Physical Oceanography

Zusammenfassung Observations of ocean circulation have increased as a result of international field programmes and of remote sensing systems on artificial earth satellites. Professor Bennett's work explores the potential for inverse theory! emphasizing possibilities rather than expedient or rudimentary applications. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; 1. Finite-dimensional inverse theory; 2. The smoothing of observations; 3. Data assimilation; 4. The spatial structure of the Kalman filter; 5. Generalized inverses of dynamical models; 6. Antenna analysis; 7. Nonlinear quasi-geostrophic models; 8. Open-ocean modeling: quasi-geostrophy; 9. Primitive-equation models; 10. Outstanding problems; Bibliography; Subject index.
